Cages

[BuFfY]

I love sitting in traffic!!
I do my make up... sing.... I have even painted my nails!
It is ok if you are not in a rush... If you know you have to be somewhere and you can see the time ticking away veeeeeeeery slowly and your not moving... at all! Then yeh it can be anoying!! I guess we just condition ourselves for such experiences

I ride most days. Right now my bike is parked outside work right next to K14's cage.

[Jantar]

But I should have added that he does have his bucket inside his cage.

[Storm]

Partial points then. No beatings required

[Waylander]

You peaple own cages?

I'm like Fishslayer.
Clock around 85km a day sitting in my cage on the Southern Carpark.
10-12 hours a week down the gurgler like a good chuck.

The reason? I have a company car and the gas and servicing is paid for. The bike is for fun and open roads, though the odd time I have taken it to work, it's been great. Less than half the travel time.

So, what I do when I get in the car? I stick the tranny in drive, put the brain in neutral; once on the carpark, I get in the right lane and spend the next hour or two, in zombie land, listening to the radio and moving over for the lucky buggers on their bikes.

I belive the trick is to keep distracting yourself from the mundane task of driving ...
make sure you keep busy doing you hair, playing with your stereo, having a shave, txting people etc.

that should do the trick

hahaha, you hit the nail on the head there buddy!

[BarBender]

But how do people commute by cage day after day, week after week? After one day in traffic I could feel my life slipping away.

I was thinking the same thing this morning as I was driving into work and wondering why the hell did I stuff around with my bike to the point that it will be out of action and in the workshop til Friday?

Even the scooters looked inviting....

[Swoop]

Wear a pair of those, have 'little green bag' or 'stuck in the middle with you' playing on ur stero, You'll be too fucking cool mate.

Hell, why stop there...
Get in the car naked with a pack of wet-wipes and have the whole shower thing going on as well!

Why do people have to do that? Have people not heard of the "Keep left" rule?
Perhaps you were going to continue by saying "and holding up others on the road wanting to pass me"?

/rant.

Errmm, cos the right lane actually moves. The left lanes are full of trucks and people doing 5kmh or 0kmh. I like going fast, so never hold anyone up.
I get on at Drury and off at Grafton, so being in the right lane doesn't affect anyone else.

I can move right over to the right to let bikers past.

I can think of many more reasons but I think you get my drift.

Oh, this morning took and hour and three quarters cos of all the prangs.

[marty]

to think i was commuting cambridge to auckland airport in 1hr 25....

and normally i can't be fucked taking the bike - the ride to work is with sun right in my eyes, ride home in the fog/rain/frost/dark, or if i'm lucky and get to work late, it's 0700am and the sun's in my eyes again.

Yep took me about the same, bloody incompetent muppets. I reckon people who are found in the wrong for accidents on the motorway during peak hour should be fined about $10k for inconveniencing everyone else.

And I reckon they should allocate the 3 lanes on the motorway to suit your driving ability.

Slow lane should be renamed "Muppet Lane"
Middle Lane should be renamed "I'm Possibly A Muppet Lane"
Fast Lane should be renamed "Look At Me You Muppets I'm Actually Moving Lane"
